About this property

Quaint cottage near USD/Old Town and trolley line

Welcome to San Diego; across from the University of San Diego. Full sized master bedroom and bath (with king sized bed), mid-sized bedroom/office with queen sized bed; and a newly build (March 2024) third bedroom (two full sized beds); Airy windows; light-filled room; rooms have blinds that darken it very well.

Very comfortable, quiet household environment. Hardwood floor with cozy family room.

Great location in San Diego, 3.5 mile bike ride to Mission Beach along Mission Bay bike trail. 3.5 miles to downtown; Sea World 2 miles (this is the perfect place to stay for a small family visiting SD for a trip to Sea World); to La Jolla: 10 miles; Balboa Park: 3.5 miles; 35 minutes to Legoland! Disneyland: 90 minutes/mi. Trolley stop and route is across the road; 1/4 mile from my house.

It is a quiet street in a fun neighborhood that serves USD students. Starbucks is near the trolley stop. Golf is literally across the street, along with the YMCA. Just down the road is Fashion Valley for shopping and Old Town for sightseeing—all within walking distance.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire home. Additionally, they have access to the washer and dryer, which are located in the garage.

I’ll be available during the day and into the early evening for questions or issues that pop up. Just send me a message.

Silver Terrace is the little-known name of this small neighborhood just south of the University of San Diego. It is a very centrally located one just minutes from numerous highly popular destinations such as: Sea World, Mission Bay Park, Mission Beach, Old Town, Downtown, Fashion Valley Mall and La Jolla. Within a 10 minute walk you'll be within range of a trolley stop, multiple coffee shops, brewery tasting room, numerous restaurants, and a YMCA.

Great location
This was a great little holiday house. Perfect location in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The backyard was a great relaxing area with some toys for our kids which was a lovely bonus. Host was super responsive, cleaning staff were friendly. Downsides: The place could use some better amenities to make the stay more comfortable. The queen bed was two old spring mattresses stacked on top of each other on a very squeaky bed frame with no box spring. One of us ended up sleeping on the couch because it was so uncomfortable to have two in the bed . There were only 4 pillows in the whole unit and not a lot of kitchen supplies (only a few mugs, glasses etc) so we were doing dishes every day. Overall it was a lovely stay otherwise but would have given 5 stars if some of those upgrades were there.

Good location, but needs a little TLC
If you are needing to use both beds in this cottage, the guest bed is in need of replacement. Our adult son, normal weight, could not sleep on the bed because of old mattress very uncomfortable. A foam pad was put on to try to mitigate this problem, but it is also old and very mushy. The sofa is supposed to be allow for additional sleeping arrangements, but it is also old and kind of blown out. The kitchen was adequate, but could use some upgrades. Not enough coffee cups for 4-6 people and very minimal silverware.

About the host

Hosted by James Morrison

Host profile image
I love to travel, and when I first started hosting as a young, single professional in my early 30s, it was a great way to subsidize that passion. Now, I'm a little older, have a family of my own, and a few gray hairs to boot. My traveling habit has unfortunately been reduced as time commitments pile up. So now, this service helps me provide for my family while still allowing me to meet new people from other parts of the world.

As a host, I like to give my guests their space but can be available at a moment's notice (I live 5 minutes away).

I look forward to continuing my vacation rentals to meet new people and share our experiences.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property because I was familiar with the neighborhood and it's central location.

Since I've purchase the property I've made many upgrades to it including the following: new flooring, crown molding, brand new bathrooms, and a new mantle piece. I hope you enjoy all the upgrades.

What makes this property unique

I would say the main benefit to this house is it's proximity to so many wonderful attractions San Diego has to provide. One could argue that it is located in the heart of San Diego.

Additionally, it's near the trolley line (5 minute walk) and the neighbors are super friendly.
